very good

It’s ok, some sounds don’t work whilst phone is locked

It’s a good app, but I have an issue others seems to have where the app doesn’t make a work complete/break end sound if the phone is locked or on its wallpaper, it works however if it’s unlocked. Ensured it has all the right permissions, doesn’t work with either focus on or off, reinstalled app, restarted iPhone.
It used to work at some point, but an update a while back seemed to have ruined it. Funnily enough the chronometer sound works if the phone is locked, so seems to be an issue with the app.

Great

Great overall

UI on mac could use an update

Helpful App

I find this app, very helpful. It has some great features, and it is free to use. Very helpful for people like me with ADHD that struggle with time management and keeping track of things/time/tasks.

I would love if you could have the sound on the timer go off even if your phone was on silent. I often have my ringer off so that every text/notification doesn’t interrupt me. However, that means I can’t hear the end of the timer.

Another improvement that I would love to see, that would make this app even more helpful Would be the ability to make different lists. You can make topics, but I haven’t figured out if you can look at just certain things under a topic. That way you could make job/home/project type of lists. Or make list that are for the day, or the week or the month, etc.
